Virgin Media Hub 5 Wifi 6 Hub GIG1 | Unboxing & Speed Test!

So nearly a year later, would you still recommend this device? Im shopping about for internet, i like to game online, so i need the best without any interruptions. No lag etc.. also, i want it wired and wireless. Wired for gaming and wireless for other bits around the house

I was a vrgin media customer for YEARS.. only just switched to City Fibre .. 900mb download 900mb upload.. Virgin cant compete on the upload speed.

Virgin media are shockingly bad. Awful, unreliable service and the worst customer service I have ever dealt with. I would love to avoid them but they have a monopoly on fibre in the Uk.

Do you know if the ps5 or the Steam Deck supports 2.5 GBPS speeds? My hub 5 is due for delivery today.

Great video 👌 subscribed

I need a high speed router for VR. Do you think this Hub 5 would have better wifi performance than a custom router on modem mode?

Are these speeds over WiFi?

Your lucky Virgin won’t upgrade my Hub 4

Question: If I source one of these, can I just replace my current HUB 3 with it? The internet is fine it's the router that can't is problematic, Virgin won't help , so I this possible?

Can you stop putting your hands in front of the camera when you are filming as all we see are your hands!
Do you not watch your videos before uploading to correct mistakes like this?
There are lots of tutorial videos on how to make and edit videos.

why is it still coax ?!

It's NOT Mega BYTES - Mbps = MEGA Bits per second.

Sorry.... mame DESKSTOP!!! Please!!!

You should be getting better upload speeds. I’m getting the same download speed but 102 upload.

What wifi speed you getting without using a hard wire ? I can get 1gig speed with my hub 4 if I use a wired connection! shat the speed your getting without using a cable ?

We been paying for gig1 but had the old hub so was a waste for months. Rang them up and they sent this one next day. Still bad people paying for gig1 but dont have the compatible hub automatically.

For the hub can you get a longer cable so I can place the router anywhere I want becuase i want to move it away from the TV

Terrible for gaming though,, ping is so high

If I get this should I still use my netgear X6 and use this as a modem? Or shall I just use this? I had a hub3 and put it in modem mode and use the netgear. Thanks

Have you come across the DHCP bug in the Hub 5? I have about 35 devices both wired and wireless and every few days to a week a couple of devices will not be connected and say "failed to obtain ip address" (both wired and wifi). You have to reset back to factory with the pin hole on the bottom of the Hub 5, reentered your chosen SSID and password and the all connect again.

What’s the Wi-Fi speeds you getting and can I get the hub if all ready with virign gig1

I have to go with vm...... all this community fiber, bt full fiber and the other are not available in my area.

The white coax cable you have from the wall socket to the router, was that installed by Virgin or did you buy that yourself?

Step up from the hub 4 to hub 5 is staggering. Only thing I didn't like is that the plug is bigger and made things awkward trying to keep it plugged in the same place as the hub 4 was.

loc the intel cpu can not deal with the heat and keep crashing best choice get a decent router and use the hub 5 as a modem instead to be honest.

How do.i reset the router without logging in

I would definitely recommend the Virgin Media Hub 5 Wifi 6 Hub to anyone looking for a high-quality product

Dude, move the router. The rad below is cooking in the winter then summer time the sun is. I give it a year before it dies.

How did you get the hub 5? I’ve been asking to upgrade but they keep telling me it’s out of stock.

Make sure you’re restarting your hub at least once a week. The reason being that they’re rolling out 100mbps upload speeds.
